Tier points are not awarded by revenue or even by miles flown but by a standard rate determined by the fare class purchased. Silver elite members earn 30% more Virgin Points than the standard Red member plus tier points on every Virgin Atlantic flight.
Top up your points balance by buying extra, and reach those rewards sooner. You can even spend them with our airline partners as well as on a Virgin Atlantic flight.
Unlike Flying Club Miles, Virgin Points will never expire. This means you have as much time as you need to redeem your Virgin Points, which have exactly the same value as miles. So no matter what life throws at you, your points are yours to use now or in the future.
